Answer: The possible values are the positive integers that are not square-free.
First, note that if we take a=ℓ, b=kℓ, c=kℓ, d=k2ℓ for some positive integers k and ℓ, then we have
a+bab+c+dcd=ℓ+kℓkℓ2+kℓ+k2ℓk3ℓ2=k+1kℓ+k+1k2ℓ=kℓ
and
a+b+c+d(a+b)(c+d)=ℓ+kℓ+kℓ+k2ℓ(ℓ+kℓ)(kℓ+k2ℓ)=ℓ(k+1)2k(k+1)2ℓ2=kℓ,
so that
a+bab+c+dcd=kℓ=a+b+c+d(a+b)(c+d)
This means that a+b+c+d=ℓ(1+2k+k2)=ℓ(k+1)2 can be attained. We conclude that all non-square-free positive integers can be attained.
Now, we will show that if
a+bab+c+dcd=a+b+c+d(a+b)(c+d)
then a+b+c+d is not square-free. We argue by contradiction. Suppose that a+b+c+d is square-free, and note that after multiplying by (a+b)(c+d)(a+b+c+d), we obtain
(ab(c+d)+cd(a+b))(a+b+c+d)=(a+b)2(c+d)2.(1)
A prime factor of a+b+c+d must divide a+b or c+d, and therefore divides both a+b and c+d. Because a+b+c+d is square-free, the fact that every prime factor of a+b+c+d divides a+b implies that a+b+c+d itself divides a+b. Because a+b<a+b+c+d, this is impossible. So a+b+c+d cannot be square-free.
